Walt Disney's Giant Comics #689
In "Island in the Sky," Carl Barks delivers a classic adventure as Uncle Scrooge, Donald, and the nephews revisit the abandoned mining town of Pizen Bluff—once a bustling frontier outpost, now a forgotten relic of Scrooge’s early days as a prospector. With Barks handling every aspect of the interior art and inks, and his distinctive touch on the cover, this 1977 issue captures the timeless charm of a bygone era, where old mines hold more than gold.
